Description
Revered English fabric and interior designer Veere Grenney welcomes us into his three spectacular homes.
World-renowned interior visionary Veere Grenney takes us on an in-depth tour of his impressive residences in Tangier, Suffolk, England, and, for the first time, his new London home. The book begins with his beloved Tangerine villa—a decade-long labour of love and a must-see for all garden enthusiasts, completed with the help of friend and expert in wild garden design Umberto Pasti and a regency gazebo designed by architect Cosimo Sesti.
Next, we visit The Temple, his 18th-century Suffolk "pocket Palladian" set within the parkland of Tendring Hall, with views of the fishing lake and geranium-filled garden. Grenney called this picturesque sanctuary home for much of 2020.
Finally, with exclusive photographs and annotations, Grenney opens the doors for the very first time to his brand-new London home. Grenney has been praised by Schumacher creative director Dara Caponigro as knowing "when to pull out the stops and when to show quiet restraint, creating interiors that are, at once, serene and exciting and never forgetting that rooms should be comfortable and liveable."
This elegant volume, Veere Grenney: Seeking Beauty, showcases his skill in marrying traditional styles with contemporary living, and illustrates how his spectacular career has influenced the styling of his personal spaces.
